i enjoyed this one and its story is very nicely put together and wrapped up. it feels like a smaller story within a bigger universe, and i’m curious about if the author has more to it. the characters were all very compelling and i particularly liked firuz and their imperfections. i loved the relationships in the book, and i think they were fleshed out well. i love the queernormative world as well i had never read something like that before.
